| 40% glass fiber, approved for potable water contact Amodel® DW-1140 is a 40% glass-fiber-reinforced resin designed for high strength and stiffness and improved hydrolytic stability. This material has low moisture absorption and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which means excellent dimensional stability. Creep resistance is also exceptional. This grade has been approved for use with potable water in the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. - Black: DW-1140 BK938 Applications: Appliances; Consumer Applications; Filters; Housings; Industrial Applications; Plumbing Parts; Pump Parts; Valves/Valve Parts Features: Chemical Resistant; Chlorine Resistant; Creep Resistant; Good Dimensional Stability; High Stiffness; High Strength; High Temperature Strength; Low Moisture Absorption Injection notes: Mold Temperature:
- Higher tool temperatures might be required for thin wall sections
Storage:
- Amodel® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications. Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be transferred into a sealable container. It is recommended that Amodel® resins be dried prior to molding following the recommendations found in this datasheet and/or in the Amodel® processing guide.
